When the traffic lights turn red, we will stop driving a car or crossing a street. Why is red used for traffic lights instead of other colors?
As we know, scattering(散射) happens when light goes through the air. For the same media(媒質(zhì)), if the wavelength islong, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, then the scattering will be long.
Of all lights we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red light travels far. In fact, it travels farther on rainy days.
Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas sec the lights. It helps drivers stow down or stop in lime. If drivers don't see the red light until they are close, they may not be able to stop the car in time. An accident may happen Red can also excite people. We can act more quickly when we see the color red. In a word, red lights help drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works(作品) of art made at different times from 1, 500 B. C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain (大腦). The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls(控制) the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists than among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged(損害) when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason (原因) why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene (基因) for right-handedness, he/she may become either right-or left-handed according to the chance (偶然性) and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.
小題1: After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found       .
A. the art began from 1, 500 B. C.
B. the works of art ended in the 1950s
C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed
D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed
小題2: How many people in the world are left-handed now?
A．Less than one sixth.
B．More than a half.
C．About 40%.
D．The passage doesn’t tell us.
小題3: What is the left hand for most people used to do?
A．It’s used to find or hold things.
B．It’s used to work with things.
C．It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.
D．It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.
小題4:  According to (根據(jù)) the  passage, which of  the following is NOT true?
A．No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
B．Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
C．Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.
小題5:The best title(標題) for this passage is       .
A．Scientists’ New Inventions
B．Left-handed People
C．Which Hand
D．Different Brains, Different Hands.
